The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has started to be tested in more devices, and according to the latest benchmark leak, the SoC has found its way into Samsung’s upcoming top-end model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra. In the latest results, we not only found out some specifications of the flagship but also discovered that the chipset beats Apple’s A18 Pro in the multi-core result.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 considerably improves in single-core results but is still slower than the A18 Pro when running in the Galaxy S25 Ultra
Qualcomm is expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in October, which is the same month when the Dimensity 9400 will be unveiled. It is not unusual to witness various Geekbench 6 listings getting updated with the chipset’s single-core and multi-core figures, but on this occasion, @tarunvats33 reveals that the Galaxy S25 Ultra was recently benchmarked. The upcoming flagship seemingly obtained 3,069 and 9,080 points in the single-core and multi-results, respectively, and we get a glimpse of the specifications too.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra in question was tested with 12GB RAM, along with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that flaunts a ‘2 + 6’ CPU cluster. The two performance cores were clocked at 4.20GHz, while the efficiency ones were operating at 2.90GHz. With the A18 Pro already tested, Apple’s fastest iPhone SoC trades blows with the M1 in multi-core performance, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is still 7 percent faster than its newest rival. Sadly, Qualcomm’s latest and greatest is unable to obtain a lead in the single-core result as it is a domain that Apple continues to dominate, with the A18 Pro being 11 percent faster.
What is interesting to note is that this is not the fastest version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that we have seen, as the OnePlus 13 was previously leaked to have obtained 10,049 points in multi-core performance, with its single-core results also being faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The major difference here is that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s performance and efficiency cores were functioning at higher frequencies, suggesting that it might be up to the manufacturer to tweak these clock speeds to achieve varying performance levels.
